On his weblog, Julian Dibbell chronicles his life as a seller of virtual goods and properties from Ultima Online. He claims that “On April 15, 2004, I will truthfully report to the IRS that my primary source of income is the sale of imaginary goods — and that I earn more from it, on a monthly basis, than I have ever earned as a professional writer.” Dibbell is a the author of My Tiny Life: Crime and Passion in a Virtual World, and has been writing essays on digital culture since 1993, several of which are available on his site.
